[edit] History

[edit] Fire services

In 1954, the area was part of Los Altos County Fire District, an area served under a contract by Los Altos Fire Department. In recent years, fire service was turned over to Woodside Fire District.

[edit] Water services

Over history, the water district boundaries defined the geographic extents of the community. According to a March 8, 2006 County of San Mateo document:

Los Trancos County Water District (LTCWD) was formed in 1954 pursuant to State Water Code Section 300002 in order to improve water service to a portion of Los Trancos Woods, an unincorporated area now in the sphere of influence of the Town of Portola Valley.

The county document says the district plans to sell their water system to the California Water Service Company.
